The Laser Component Engineer joins the Laser Engineering Team within Camera Semiconductor Devices to lead the development of laser components for Face ID and LIDAR scanners. This role involves transforming laser design concepts into products ready for high-volume mass production. Key responsibilities include defining Engineering Requirement Specs, establishing spec correlations, and driving process integration flows with external vendors. The engineer must solve reliability and performance issues, review yield data, and explore new device technologies for the internal roadmap. Required skills include a background in physics or electrical engineering with experience in epitaxy and process integration for III-V optoelectronics devices like VCSELs, LEDs, and edge-emitting lasers. Proficiency in data analysis using JMP and script writing for data inquiry is also strongly preferred for this technical role.
